I was accused of queue jumping even though I was stood in front of her. The basis of her accusation was that I was stood looking at the newsrack while in standing in line despite never actually leaving the queue. She started to kick up a fuss, going-on about manners and how I should've acted like a gentleman. I simply explained that I believed in equal opportunities and it was my commitment to equality which prevented me from acting in the chivalrous way she would've liked. It seemed up shut her up.
Haha!
I don't think the middle-aged woman I encountered tonight would have shut her up if I came back with a smart-arse comment. I was far too tired to be able to argue, so I simply shrugged my shoulders. After her extended rant about my lack of manners, she rang a bloke up (presumably her other half) to discuss 'the youth of today'...
